<p>Integer sort algorithm using random access iterators. All variants fall back to <code>std::sort</code> if the data is too small.<code>integer_sort</code> is a fast templated in-place hybrid radix/comparison algorithm, which in testing tends to be roughly 50% to 2X faster than <code>std::sort</code> for large tests (&gt;=100kB).<br />
Worst-case performance is <em> O(N * (lg(range)/s + s)) </em>, so <code>integer_sort</code> is asymptotically faster than pure comparison-based algorithms. <code>s</code> is <code>max_splits</code>, which defaults to 11, so its worst-case with default settings for 32-bit integers is <em> O(N * ((32/11) </em> slow radix-based iterations fast comparison-based iterations).<br />
<br />
Some performance plots of runtime vs. n and log(range) are provided:<br />
